They'd probably do just like they did with Osiraq. Launch a squadron of F-15's and F-16's. The F-15's will be there to provide support against responding Iranian aircraft, while the F-16's are kitted to do the damage on the ground.

They'd take off with a full weapons load out. They'd probably conduct an airial refueling within minutes of take off and again over Saudi Territory. They'd penetrate Iranian air space firing HARM missiles at all known radar sights, saturating the area with anti-radar radiation making it impossible to develop locks on the aircraft with radar guided missiles.

Now the reacter site is probably well guarded by IR seeking SAM batteries. This is where a flight of the F-16's will push ahead and take on a Wild Weasel roll. One would allow the battery to develop a lock and his wingman would follow in and drop a bomb on the site. It's very likely they would lose an aircraft or two in this mission role but that is to be expected.

Following the nuetralization of the ground defences, either a prestaged ground team would lase the target for some LGB's, or GPS GBU's would be released from a range of 5-10 miles and then the aircraft would bug out.

They'd leave Iranian air space with the F-15's providing cover and once their safely back in Saudi air space, they'd refuel again and return home.

In most sports, cold-cocking an opposing player repeatedly in the face with a series of gigantic Slovakian uppercuts would get you a multi-game suspension without pay.

In hockey, it means you have to sit in the penalty box for five minutes.

With what moron? Iran's military is in worse shape than Iraq's when we went in. Israel's air force is one of the best in the world. They'll sweep the IAF from the sky.

Again you show your stupidity. When the Israelis bombed Osirak in 89, the rest of the ME said and did nothing. When they recently took out the NorK reactor in Syria, the rest of the ME said and did nothing. When, not if, Israel takes out Iran's reactor, the same thing will happen again. The rest of the ME will say and do nothing.

No surprise since The Obumbler is the weakest President we've ever had.

One thing about shore based missiles Stupidicus is they don't move and make great targets for ship, sub or air launched crise missiles, which we would have every right to use if Iran threatens internatonal shipping with them. You can bet we have those launch facilities marked and targeted. If Iran starts warming up those missles, they will go away.

As for the rest of your rambling stupidity, it's worth less than what my dog leaves when she goes out to relieve herself.
